Bangladesh has continued to log an impressive growth in inward remittances, with expatriates sending home over US$ 34.38 billion during the period from July 2025 to June 15, 2026. 

This marks an 18.61 percent growth compared to the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year FY 2025-26.

According to the latest data from Bangladesh Bank released today (Tuesday), the total remittance inflow reached $ 34.38 billion during the current fiscal year (up to June 15, 2026), compared to $ 28.98 billion received during the same period of FY2024-25.

The data shows that on June 15 alone, expatriate Bangladeshis remitted US$ 82.55 million through official banking channels.

Furthermore, the remittance inflow during the first 15 days of June 2026 reached US$ 1.62 billion up from $ 1.47 billion recorded during the first half of June 2025. This reflects a healthy month-on-month growth of 9.73 percent.

Banking sector officials noted that the steady and robust inflow of remittances has heavily shored up the country's external sector performance and financial stability ahead of the conclusion of the fiscal year.

Foreign Exchange Reserves Position:

Backed by strong remittance channels and recent external funding, the country’s foreign exchange reserves have shown a strong upward position. According to the central bank's financial account data as of June 16, 2026:

Gross Forex Reserves stood at $35.76 billion. BPM6 standard reserves recorded at $31.21 billion on today (Tuesday) June 16,2026.

The Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual (BPM6) format, mandated by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), represents the immediately usable liquid reserves of the central bank.

Central bank officials indicated that the current reserve position leaves the country in a comfortable position to cover more than five to six months of regular import bills, significantly boosting macroeconomic stability and stabilizing the domestic foreign exchange market.
